THE latest "fiend in human form"
is developed in an Arkansas woman
who, because of jealousy, hired three
men, for $50 each, to whip two wo-
men and kill a third. The contract
was carried out with the substitution
of outrage for murder, but the men
auarrelled about a division of the
spoils, the matter leaked out and the
men are in Jail. Two Of the women
are virtuous and respectable. The
mon are apt to receive Arkansaw JUS
tice, and they deserve it.

JUST as soon as the vote is counted
and determined, Dallas energies must
all be turned on the great Stair Fair
and Exposition, the Gainesville road,
the Dallas and Archer, extension OF
the Trunk, more factories, Oak Cliff
and other improvements and indus
tries. The acrimony of a heated con-
test must be forgottcn-and all efforts
united for the common good of Dallas
and Texas.

The HERALD of yesterday noon
urged the Dallas people to send a
pressing invitation to President
Cleveland to visit this city during the
coming State Fair and Exposition,
and it is rejoiced TO be able to state
to-day that the invitation has gone
forward from the officers and direc.
tory of the Fair. 1t may become
necessary to give proper emphasis to
the invitation by a personal presenta-
ton on the part of a committee OF
prominent Dallas gentlemen. That
was the only way that the president
could be induced to favorably consider
the invitations from st. Louis and
Kansas City. Denver has sent for the
president, and it is Dallas or Denver

THE incentive TO anti prohibition
exertion next week is money
while the prohibitionists are moved
by a love for humanity and right.
Men are usually controlled more by
greed of gain than any other power,
and yet great revolutions, social and
political, have grown out OF pure mo-
tives for the benefit of mankind. 1t
remains TO be seen whether the money
power and the personal liberty to
keep public drunkeries is to prevail

Incidental Opinion from MIR. Lamar Concern
ing Negro Emancipation.
Washington Special
There is some misapprehension as to
the operation OF the severalty act in
gard to the citizenship of the Indians.
This msconception of the new law is shown by
some statements which have recently been de
in the West to the effect that all Indians are now
citizens Of the United States, and are amenable
to the laws of the respective States and Terri
tories in which they reside. These statements
are based upon the belief that all Indians were
made citizens by the allotment ACT. which was
passed last February. Such is not the effect Of
of the The law provides way in which
all Indians may become citizens, but in most
instances some preliminary steps must be taken
before this can be accomplished. The status of
the Indians under the allotment act, as it is
interpreted at the Indian Bureau is this
The act practically divides the Indians upon
whom citizenship is to be, or may be conferred,
into three classes: ~ Any Indian horn within
the territorial limits of the Cnited States, who
has taken mp his residences separate and apart
from an Indian tribe, and adopted the habits of
civilized life, is by tho act hereby declared
be citizen of the United States" All indians
who avail themselves of this provision will be-
come citizens. but they will not become citizens
until they comply with the conditions OF the act.
t2) Any Indians to whom allotmenta have al
ready heeu made unCer any law or treaty are
now citizsus AS to this class of Indians tha
law is self Operative. They become citizens by
virtue of pre-existing condition. t3) All other
Indians-and this class constitutes the main
body of the Indans-will not become citizens
until the nllotments provided for by the sever
atty act shall have been made
The allotment of lands in severalty is now
proceeding upon several reservations and tho

as possible. This is a work which, naturally,
must be done with great care

THE SEAL FISHERIES.

Grounds Which Our Government Claims
Jurisdiction Over BeEring Sea.

the Herald says: sThe government here are in
receipt of advices from Sitka which contain the
brief which is understood to have been prepared
at Washington and recently filed in the court at
Sitka by Mr. A. K. Delaney counsel for the
United States in the seal fisheries dispute.
The plea in defense is that the United States
has dominion over tho waters of Behrng
sea beyond marine league of three miles from
the Alaskan shore. Mr.. Delaney takes the po-
siton that Behrng is not a portion of the
opeb or high sea, but is an inland water cut off

CAN'T IMPORT A MINISTER.
Startling Application of the Law Prohibit
ing Importation of Contract Labor.

NEW YoRz, Oct l3.--United States District
Attorney Walker decided, to-day, that the case

from England to the rectorship of the Church OF
the Holy Trinity. comes under the Contract
Labor Law" and that he will be forced to COM
mepce suit against the vestry and wardens of
the church The history of this case is. in
brief, as follows: Some months ago Scotch
farmer named Cummings came to this country
under contract, and refused permission to
land. on the ground that it would be violation
OF the law against the immigration of persons
under contract to perform labor or service in
this country. Mr.. j. S. Kennedy, president of
the ST. Andrews Society of this city,
endeavored in vain to get permission
for Cummings to land. and the farmer was sent
back to Scotland. When it became known tn at
Rev. Mr.. Warren was coming to this country
under contract to fill the pastorage of Trinity
Church. Mr.. Kennedy notified Collector Magons
of the fact and demanded that he be not allowed
to land. The protest was not needed and the
preacher landed. Then Mr.. Kennedy appealed
TO the Secretary of the Treasury, who replied
that the matter had passed beyond his jnris-
dictIon, which only went to the extent of pre-
venting a landing; but that. if the law had been
violated. it was the duty of the United States
District Attorney to begin an action
against the captain of the ship which brought
him here, to recover the penalty of S., 200 for
violation of the law. Mr.. Kennedy thereupon
appealed the district attorney, who this
afternoon, made known his decision as above
He says it is plain that the law does not refer
merely to manual labor only, for it expressly
exempts professional actors artists, lecturers
and singers" and the Rev Warren
is neither of these. he falls plainly
within the law. The district attor-
ney intimates rather poor opinion
